KarmaCruisers

I invest in SPY $1000 a month (as well as maxing out my 401k)

How ever you wanna look at it. From now on I’m just going to do things that are in writing. (Not gamble, even if it was an AP) It’s not the money because I honestly couldn’t care less about it…it’s about me doing something I said i wasn’t going to do..AND also eating later than I wanted to and now it’s 11:09 and I’m JUST getting back in the room; and I need to wake up early and put my mile in. Maybe I can take a nap after doing the mile. For anyone that wants to pile on; I played back the $950 that was left of the $200 (cost $1800) gift card…and tossed in the fire $3000 of my own. I am now at ~15,000 slot points; which is rediccc. Luckily my next four cruises are Princess in comped Penthouse suites with plus package and $2500 freeplay (which I’ll wash out on video poker, and that I can trust to get 90% of it returned in my pocket) (so that’ll be like $8000 over the course of the rest of the year) At least know i know; it was an experiment and it failed epically. (I almost *knew* the slots were MUCH lower payback than Nevada, even though the Signage and documentation says their Class-III machines with return’s in line with Nevada.

At least now I know not to put my trust in math and numbers; but to trust in money in my own pocket

Yea this counts the same as an alcoholic that fell off the wagon

Hopefully I can get back on that ONE hot video poker machine after dinner. if I can run this $755 up to $1000 I’ll call it. That $1800 gift cards is lost. I know that. in I guess brighter news? I’m just about up to 10,000 slot points. (So tommorow night for dinner I may ask for some comps for ChiBang or something; that chili lobster was BANGIN..or I just pay for it haha also; got the invite for Diamond/Platinum party tommorow

I really screwed the pooch today man; 8:30 is really cutting it late for me to eat dinner.

And lol they put me at a 4-top

Finally going to eat at 8:28. Also ran good and am up $755. (I mean I’ve clawed back $755 of $2800) annnd dinner is a cluster they assigned me a table in the back; which someone else was sitting at (full table) so we had to walk all the way back up

This evenings ensemble and JFC! just checked into MDR..90-90 minute wait!! People must want that free lobster! ALSO, sadly I lost control and dumped the remaining $950 of that $1800 worth of gift cards..plus $1000 of my own. stupid too because I actually had ran the $950 up to $1500; so I’d of only been out of pocket $300. Buut I’m an addict and probably abou to throw another $1000 away trying to chase SOME of it.

Holy crap that’s UNREAL! this $2000 coin/in returned $950!! I honestly can’t believe that! That’s MORE than a 47.5% return!! There’s NO way a 90% return game could be THAT bad.

To remind myself I need to get to 4819 points tonight

Man I timed that just right once I sat down to eat Guys got LIIIIINED up

Straight Up with added Grilled Onions

I jogged up the stairs to deck 17 (from 11) and I’m finally having Guy’s for the first (and probably only) time this voyage.

Not to disappoint this far in the cruise; Shirt Du Jour (will only have it on for a few hours as I have to put on my “formal” clothes for Lobster in the MDR

No sign of girl from GrandTurk; sorry to say. A funny thing happened; so I was in there first set of chairs closest to the water, and a girl walked up and no one else was around (like I said it was pretty empty today) and I thought she was taking a selfie, so I didn’t bother her…then she like fumbled around for a few minutes and then asked me if I could take her picture. (Of course I said sure) but apprenrly she was taking a SnapChat thing, cuz the phone locked and I just went into photos (it was an iPhone and you can do that from the Lock Screen) and she’s like sorry if it locked when I handed it to you, let me get back into SnapChat; to which I replied “sorry I am ashamed to say I’ve never used Snapchat even though my friend is one of the original employees, haha” I wonder if I should have lead-in with “what is your Snapchat?” Because it’s obvious this girl was by herself (or else someone could have taken the photo for her) But on the other hand she was way younger than me (probably like EARLY 30’s) Im going to buy another $2000 worth of Gift Cards, so maybe I’ll get another chance at the lady in the casino….

Back to the cabin now. had a GREAT time, 10/10 would recommend..BUUUT; on the way back I realized..we’re the ONLY ship in port today; so that may have had something to do with Blue Lagoon not being absolutely MOBBED with people. On the way back to port I also just happened to be looking at the ocean at the right time; and I got to see a Stringray fly through the air! Heres a couple more photos from earlier

Thanks! I found decent WiFi here at Blue Lagoon; in the “adults only” dining area. i have to say this place is nice and I’m glad I upgraded to the “Adults Only” package. We get our own private beach area, way away from the main area.(they’re playing soothing spa music in the little “rock” speakers around our area.) Our beach has rocks, but if you have water shoes you can easily go past the rocks and find some nice deep pools to chill in. Just ate lunch, the ferry to go back to the ship leaves in an hour (1:15)

It’s a mad house out here

What a scam they’re running for drinks right at the gangway..you THINK they’d be included (water bottles and Gatorade) but the guy said they’re NOT (he writes them up manually) so I went up three flights to Java Blue and picked up the SAME bottle of Gatorade-Zero..for FREE. lol I bet they catch a LOT of people sleeping like that.

Breakfast

Holy shoot this guy making the omelettes is like the slowest person in the world! He’s literally trying to make them to perfection! The guy in front of me said “it don’t matter; it’s going in my belly anyway”

Good morning Nassau! it’s actually a tad cool outside (I imagine it’ll warm up as the day goes on and also portside is in the shade of the boat) Got cleaned up and waiting in line for an omelette right now at Lido MarketPlace. i didn’t put sunblock on my face in Grant Turk and I definitely got a “guy fieri” tan (sunglasses area not tan at all, lol) so I’m going to put a little bit on my face today (I didn’t think I needed it because I have a giant rainforest type hat which also has a neck cover piece)

Morning comes at 6:45 to get cleaned up and get breakfast and off the ship by 8:30 (says meet 15 minutes prior to 9)

Time for siesta. i honestly didn’t take an elevator today at all; so I think my drinking of: Mango305 Colorado BullDog Pirate Punch (aka: Surfer on Acid) Woodford Old Fashioned Blantons Old Fashioned Wasn’t TOO horrible (although I did eat dinner past my usual 9pm cutoff; but only by 30 minutes)
